One of the biggest challanges when it comes to windsurfing fins is to deside which fin to choose and what sizes you would opt for. Here we will focus on fin brands that not only delivers top of the line fins but also offers consumer friendly information, guides and support to help you with your choice.

Windsurfing fins – Question & Answers

Are you satisfied with you current stock fin? If so; How do I combine two new fins with the stock fin? If I go for three new fins, which sizes would I opt for considering board size, sail sizes, body weight and sailing conditions?

You will find most of the answers you need on the fin producers website but always check your choice of fins with their customer support. Our experience is that if you give the fin producer info about your windsurfing quiver such as board-brand/model/size, sails-brands/models sizes and your body weight they will deliver a very precise recommendation regarding your choice of fins.

Sonntag Custom Carbon Fins – Specialized on custom fins

Sonntag Fins is specialized on custom fins that are tuned and customized after the customer’s individual requirements and needs. The proposal form is quite comprehensive and their answer is very detailed, recommending a fin quiver according to your weight, height and your sail and board combo. Their slalom fin SL-P_r3 is developed to provide “easy racing” characteristics as well as hardcore slalom performance. >> Check out Sonntag Custom Fins – About windsurfing fins section.

Black Project Fins – A wide range of premium fins

“The Type R and Type RS fins will help to tune your iSonic into a race winning machine. Heaver riders or those who sail with lots of back foot pressure should choose the Type R for more drive and grip. For riders concentrating on pure downwind slalom (or speed) the Type RS has a looser feel and has a higher top end speed. Riders sailing close to the wind and/or on a figure 8 course should choose the Type R. **107, 110, 117 & 130 should use Deep Tuttle bases, however regular Tuttle can be used with longer bolts.”

Select Hydrofoils – The pioneer when it comes to fin selectors

Focus: Wide range of fins built with the most advanced production line on the market.Select Hydrofoils was one of the pioneers when it comes to customer friendly fin selectors, possibly one of the factors that have established Select Hydrofoils as one of the dominating fin producer on the market. Their V-MAX 3.0 is a full on slalom fin but Select states that the V-MAX is just as suitable for freeride and freerace. >> Check out Select Hydrofoils fin selector.

One or two extra fins in your windsurfing quiver will boost you overall performance

Regardless if you are into freeride, freerace or slalom, one or two extra fins will improve the wind range of your one board quiver massively and at the same time boost your overall performance.

Freeride and Freerace boards often comes with a fin which is the best compromise regarding the board and the boards recommended sail range. It goes without saying that an extra fin or two (+/- 4-6 cm) can improve the performance and range of use significantly. Try out our Windsurfing Fin Selector.
